We are the leading B2B information services company focused on the food and beverage industry, providing actionable insight and market intelligence to business leaders in every channel consumers buy food and beverage – convenience stores, grocery retailing, restaurants and noncommercial foodservice – through broad and cutting-edge platforms including media, events, data products, advisory services, and trade shows.

The restaurant industry is the country’s second-largest private sector employer: More than 1 million restaurants employ 13.5 million people, or one in every 10 U.S. workers, according to the National Restaurant Association. This industry generates more than $700 billion in sales each year. Restaurant Business exclusively serves restaurant entrepreneurs—both chains and independents—with more than $500K in yearly sales.

With a convenience store for every 2,100 people (and counting), the convenience channel accounts for more than 34 percent of retail outlets in the United States and continues to grow annually. In this $700-billion industry, Winsight reaches the key decision makers, from the independent mom-and-pop stores to multibillion-dollar regional and national powerhouses.

Noncommercial foodservice now is a more than $82-billion industry, according to research firm Technomic. While the foodservice industry overall is only expected to grow by a mere 1.4 percent in 2015, four noncommercial segments—senior living (6 percent), hospitals (3.5 percent), business and industry (2.7 percent) and colleges (2.5 percent)—are expected to outpace that growth rate. FoodService Director's subscribers are experienced foodservice operators and decision makers representing nearly $40 billion in food and beverage purchases across every segment of the noncommercial industry.

The continued evolution of category blurring across retail channels has produced a grocery landscape that has never been more competitive or complex. Winsight’s comprehensive coverage of the $669 billion grocery segment focuses on topics that matter most to retail executives – such as competition, profits, omnichannel and retail foodservice – to help them anticipate and adapt to the continuing wave of changes on the horizon.
